DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

I've just got back from Bug Jam, the new wave VW event at Santa Pod. You know the sort of thing 18,000 people, rave tents, having it large etc.

There's always a load of non car related trade stands and cheap pikey tat for sale but imagine my suprise when I came across this trade stand!

Look at the picture carefully and what looks like your average cheap camping, chav, sticker, dodgy illustrations average crap kinda stall actually has a very interesting story.



In this second picture at the rear of said stand, MonkeyBoy from DDk expresses his displeasure at the cheapness of it all



Is the new race truck to be replaced with this and trawled round some dodgy festivals to help raise club funds

Maybe its a new PCGB campaign to get the yooth involved - couldn't find Fred though

As a member of PCGB I find this discovery outrageous. If the person owning this vehicle is also a member then I think his/her membership should be cancelled. The sort of wares on offer are not consistent with the quality items available from PCGB. It's just not cricket...I'm going to write to my MP....

Actually not a bad idea. I might stick a couple of stickers on my wideboy burberry coloured Escort Van and then charge twice as much down the boot sale. Saaawted

I wonder if they're going to do a side line in moody fat gold chains

I know I'm rubbing this in but I was in fits when saw the trailer

Do you reckon the owner is actually a PCGB member?? A register or Regional secretary perhaps?

How about posting ot on the PCGB forum?? We could get Helen to do it!!! :D :D

i cant believe that

perhaps we should set up a stall selling magic tree air freshners and fury dice to compete with that

Just needs a bit more Bling! and some Rizzla papers

Maybe they need funds for a further extension to Cornbury House...or maybe to fuel the race support vehicle??

I'm guessing they've sold the trailer although why not take the logos off?

I probably will post it 2morrow on the PCGB forum, its not at all good for the brand and the marque you know, whatever next? Maybe a hardcore tent at Brand Hatch

Will I get censored

Couldn't resist

ooohhh, it's all kicked off nicely, much talk of lawyers and injunctions...

Quite amusing and not entirely unpredictable... :D

LOL thats hilarious, love the reactions on the PCGB board

I hope they take it in the spirit it was meant :twisted:

a bit of fun I can see the writs leaving Conbury House now.

Let's hope Porsche don't find out

As guardians of the brand maybe PCGB will remove branding from their cast offs in future

Great line:

"Don't worry, there was only 18,000 people there, I'm sure most of them didn't bat an eyelid at the PCGBs nice new line in Bongs, Pipes, Fake designer goods and general cheap rubbish "


Maybe PCGB were trying to Push a new Layed back attitude towards the VW-Porsche relationship

Please cut and paste more of the aggro for those of us that don't have access to the PCGB forum - I like a good row!

Its not really a row, just a bit of fun with some serious replies e.g.


This is our old trailer that was sold some time ago. The deal required the new owner to remove our logo before use. This has obviously not been done and I would suggest to the Borad of Directors that action is taken to enforce this requiorement.


and my reply

Would seemed to have been a better decision to remove prior to the sale of it, but then we couldn't have had the amusement it provided.

Don't worry, there was only 18,000 people there, I'm sure most of them didn't bat an eyelid at the PCGBs nice new line in Bongs, Pipes, Fake designer goods and general cheap rubbish

and then.....

This is a clear case of breach of contract, passing off, and possibly registered trade mark infringement (if PCGB has registered its trade mark rights as it ought).

PCGB need to take urgent action, supported by either suitably experienced solicitors or a trade mark attorney. The latter can be located via the Institute of Trade Mark Attorneys and/or the Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys - many patent attorneys & firms also handle a wide range of trade mark disputes.
